We did a show in Houston, the First Saturday Arts Market, two weeks after the hurricane resulted in sales 21% above average for September at that show.

Our Houston intern, Zeinab, photographs the table top layout so she will know how it's supposed to go

I was strolling through the show and happened upon the display of painter, Janice Jackson. She favors dock side, sailing themes among others. But there hanging on her wall was a painting that included a representation of my booth. AWESOME! She wasn't trying to sell it to me, she just found it appealing as a subject, like a sailboat or a pelican. THe German shepherd often appears in her workAWESOME! Of course I had to have it.

Finally, my current project is a hand made chain using Argentium Sterling for its property of fusing together without solder. What I am attempting is to perfect the construction of complex pieces with a propane torch rather than a standard jewelers torch.
